asterisk users - Feb 2005 - Please share the experience on VoIP phones heavy using.

Hi there,

Does someone can share the experience with Cisco and Polycom Phones?

How rock solid are they? And who will win in sound quality contest?

I heard that Cisco phones is a Polycom replicas with changed design. Is 
that true?

What else phones is better to implement to the medium sized business?
The rock solid stability and superb sound quality is a must.

All the Best!

Both have excellant sound. I think the Polycom speakerphone is a bit 
better. We are using mostly Polycom these days and our customers love 
them. My only issue is they do seem to have about a 10% failure rate 
within 90 days. After that they are solid - so far. They are also less 
expensive than the Cisco's and seem to have a better feature set and 
better control of their configs and buttons. I do like the layer 2 
troubleshooting capabilities of the Ciscos as the Polycom seem to have 
no capabilities that I can find.

I do not think the Cisco is any kind of a Polycom copy.
